CONCERNING BADGERS.
Prominent Characteristics of These Int
esting and Plucky Creatures.

Prominent Chara ctefistics of These Inter
esting and Plucky Creatures.
Badgers have never been familiar TO
people in the Eastern States. but are
common in the Northwest. Their habits
If life are suited to an open country,
with a dry soil, such as lies along the
eastern slope Of the Rocky mountains.
In the Hunting Trips of a Ranch
man. there is given a good and enter
tanning account of these creatures.
Badgers are more commonly found
round prairie-dog towns than anywhere
else and they get their chief food by
diggingup the prairie-dogs and gophers
with their strong forearms and long,
stout claws. They are not often found
wandering away from their homes in
the daytime, but if SO caught, are
easily run down and killed. A badger
is most desperate fighter, and an over
match for coyote, his hide being verY
thick, and his form SO squat and strong
that it is hard to break his back and
legs, while his sharp teeth grip like u
steel trap. A very few seconds allow
him to dig hole in the ground. into
which he can back all except his head;
and when thus placed, with his rear
and flanks protected, he can beat off a
dog many times his own size. A young
badger one night came up round the
ranch-house. and began gnawing at
some bones left near the door. Hear
ino the noise. one of nv men took a
lantern and went outside. The glare
of the light seemed to make the badger
stupid, for after looking at the lantern
few moments, it coolly turnel and
went on eating the scraps of flesh on
The bones, and was knocked on. the
head without attempting to escape

United states Notes Mutiiatei to Save Ex-
change--The Biters Bitten
WASHINGTON, April 15.-There wae re
ceived at the United States Treasury yes
terday for redemption package Of per
fectly new United States notes Of small de-
nomination to the amount Of $1,000. which
were mutilated by having hole punched
through them, through which cord had
been passed and then sealed. The package
was sent by express by national bank in
Texas and the mutilatlon was evidently ihs
tended as an additional safeguard in trans
portatiOn. This is said to be the practice
of many southern express companies IN the
transportation of money TO the treasury for
redemption. but the present is the first
instance where new, uninjured notes have
been treated in this way. 1t is not known
whether these particular notes were mutt
lated by the bank or by the express com
pany, but it Is thought at the department
that it was done by the bank to secure eX-
change on New York at the expense of the
Government. Acting Treasurer Whelpley
refused to receive the notes and directed
their return TO the bank at its expense with
q statement that such mutilation was con-
sidered violation of law and would not be
permitted by the department.

MODERN DREssMAKING.
The Art Of Adapting the Prevailing Mod
90 Individual Requirements.

The Art Of Adapting the Prevailing Modes
so Individual Requirements
The dressmaking of to-day is very
different from that Of few years ago.
II is now the work Of an artist. Every
seam, every curve aud line must be
perfect in its form, and be on the latest
approved mode as to shape and garni-
ture, but the individual figure must be
studied as whole, each point sepa-
rately, and the chosen style adapted to
the form. Neither can the same style
Of drapery be adopted by all persons
and equally becoming results expected
1t Is the successful adoption of prevail
ing modes to individual requirements
that entities modern dressmaking to be
classed among the fine arts. The new
est modes allow no darts TO appear on
the outside; they. are made in ths
lining, however, in the usual
way, and the plfable outer material is
stretched and nodded to the figure over
the fitted lining. which gives bias eff
feet TO the lower parts of the fronts
that is strikingly noticeable when tho
goods is striped or plaided. Waists
are made as long as the figure will per-
NIT and are thoroughly boned, so that ,
even suggestion of a wrinkle il
avoided. In addition to the usual
complement of wlIalebones many
dressmakers add short ones over the
hips; one placed diagonally from the
front seam of the side gore commenc-

line and reaching to the bottom Of the
basque at the back seam of the side
gore, and another one placed over this
so as to form an X. This keeps the
basque smooth over the hips, and
sometimes a second X is made on the
side form. The basque, with long
pointed front and we'll bound over the
hips, will glYs a long-waisted effect
to the figure, so this must
be considered in reference
to its becGmingness. Shoulder
seams are placed on the top and ex-
tended only to the point OF the shoul-
der, and the arm-holes are shaped and
the sleeves ii ted with the grcdt2st
| nitety. Necks are still worn very high
and collars are broad and fit closely.
When the vest or plastron is made on
the basque the collar f"stens on the
/ side. Moliere effects are shown on both
vests and plastrons, and they are often
made of an entirely different material
and color from the rest of the dress. A
vest Of pink Grape is set on costume
of heliotrope taiile, and a pale blue
moliere is effective in dress of dark
blue. Two shades of green may be
combined, aud cream can be used with
almost any color. The majority of
dresses have a close sleeve, with
simple trimming at the wrists. Rib
bons are used in profusion for orna-
menting dresses, and promise to be
still more extensively employed as
thinner materials are assumed-BrooE-

ACTING SECRETARY MULDRow has
rendered decision in the Louisiana
swamp lands case, modifying his de
eision Of March % last which re-
quired the State to elect whether tire
field notes of survey shall be made the
basis of final adjustment of the swamp
lands grants. 1t appears from papers
filed in the case since the decision of
March % that the State. by an act of
the Legislature approved March q,
1850, elected to accept the field notes
in making swamp land selection, and
the Acting Secretary decided that a re-
election by the State is unnecessary and
he therefore eliminates from his deci-
sion that requirement.
